LyondellBasell’s Houston refinery marks 100th anniversary

The Houston refinery of LyondellBasell, one of the largest plastics, chemicals, and refining companies in the world, celebrated its 100th anniversary on March 22, 20108.

“I want to thank our refinery team for their dedication and commitment. I’m so proud of the important work they do every day,” said Bob Patel, chief executive officer of LyondellBasell.

“The products made at our refinery go far and wide and allow goods to move, people to travel and economies to grow. Generations of refinery employees helped produce the fuels that drove America’s growth and supported the local economy over our century-long history,” said Jerome Mauvigney, site manager of LyondellBasell’s Houston refinery. “I am inspired by all who came before us and the future workforce that will come after us.”

Harris County Commissioner Jack Morman’s Office and the City of Houston helped commemorate the site’s centennial anniversary with a proclamation declaring March 22nd LyondellBasell Houston Refinery Day.
